urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 148 Shangsi Section 4
Cheng Engong definitely didn't want the future third daughter-in-law to be the princess, so he patiently analyzed the current situation of the court with his old wife.

"The Holy Majesty didn't confer the title of the Seventh Prince as a prince, so now we are married to the palace, the Holy Majesty sees it, and thinks that he wants to find backup for the Seventh Prince, but it is not good for the Seventh Prince."

"Now the Holy Majesty has not established a crown prince, but the Seventh Prince is the most likely to become the Crown Prince, because the Holy Majesty is still in his prime, and the Seventh Prince happens to be still young, so he can stay by his side and teach carefully."

"At this time, we can only seek stability. Even if we can't help the empress and the seventh prince, we can't hold them back."

"Think about it, has the empress been particularly lenient in the past two years?"

Mo Xiuhe came back at this time, but was stopped by the guards, and he wanted to break in, crying and howling.

After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Mo knew that what she had planned for her youngest son would not work out.

Therefore, he didn't want to listen to his nagging anymore, so he quickly asked someone to let his youngest son in, with a smile all over his face, and asked softly, "San'er, why did you come back so early?"

Mo Xiuhe rushed to his mother, squatted on the ground, and looked at her expectantly: "Mother, my son wants to get married, can you propose marriage for me?"

Then he betrayed miserably: "Mother, if you don't let me marry her, then I will become a monk tomorrow."

When Cheng Engong heard his son's worthless words, he was so angry that he almost made a move: "Little brat, I think you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Mrs. Mo glared at him instantly: "If you dare to touch my son, I will fight you to the death!"

Cheng Engong was not happy after hearing this, and felt that she had never treated him so well.

After so many years of husband and wife, he thinks that he has always respected his wife, and has never doted on his concubine or killed his wife, let alone meddling in the affairs of the backyard. But these years, she has treated him more and more casually, coming and going as she pleases. .

But it can't be denied that I can be very casual in front of her.

But, she doesn't take herself too seriously, doesn't she?

The most important thing is that I reprimanded my son because of her?

He could only repeat the old tune: "You, you, my son is spoiled by you!"

But the person didn't move, and wanted to know which lady this unreliable bastard took a fancy to.

When Mrs. Mo saw her son, she didn't bother to talk to him anymore, she held his son's hand and asked, "Which family are you from first?"

In fact, it's no wonder Mrs. Mo loves him more. The son has been stable since he was a child, and the second son can't act like a baby. Seeing that the third son comes back and gets close to her, can it make her less partial?

Mo Xiuhe was a little twitchy: "Mother, it's Miss Su who saved my son last time! My son saw her again today, so in order to support her, he said that we and the Su family are already in harmony."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Mo's face changed now: "No, the Su family is too poor to be worthy of my son!"

"Then my son will become a monk." Mo Xiuhe had already thought that his mother would not agree, and had already prepared countermeasures, but he didn't expect that his father would be there, which would affect his performance a bit.

Otherwise, he would dare to fight to the death and live, as long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter if he cries, makes trouble and hangs himself.

Mrs. Mo waved her hand angrily and hit her son on the shoulder: "You want to piss me off, don't you?"

Mo Xiuhe played tricks with his mother: "No, if mother dies, wouldn't that be a cheap father? He can be the groom again."

He also vividly recounted the scene of Rui Shizi's hero saving the beauty, and at the end he didn't forget to put eye drops on his father: "Mother, you are still here, father doesn't like me, so he prefers little four and five, if you It's gone, and the son doesn't want to live anymore, so even if our mother and son go to the underworld, can we still be companions?"

Mrs. Mo was told by her son, as if she saw her husband marrying a bride after her own death, she hugged her son and cried, and at the same time did not forget to comfort her son: "San Er, don't worry, mother will not die even if it is for you. In front of your father."

Seeing his wife staring at him, Cheng Engong couldn't help but doubt in his heart, if his wife really wanted to go ahead of him, would he kill himself first?
No, their mother and son were talking nonsense, why did they follow suit?

He stretched out his hand to smooth his beard, pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "The Su family is not bad either, Miss Su's father is a gentleman from Bailu Academy, her elder brother is in the household department, her second brother is in the Imperial Academy, and the eldest son of the Xuanping Hou Mansion is Her uncle's nephew can't be called an ordinary family either."

Mo Xiuhe didn't expect his father to speak for him, so he quickly agreed: "That's right, what father said is true, and Miss Su also came out of a women's college, she is dignified and virtuous, and she will be able to persuade her son to improve himself in the future."

"Mother! Mother, dear mother..." He flattered her and looked at her eagerly. He kept promising that he would make progress after marrying Su Hui, and that there would be one more person who would be filial to her, trying to soften her heart.

Mrs. Mo was still dissatisfied with Su Hui's family background: "San'er, the Su family is really too low."

Mo Xiuhe was annoyed, and got up abruptly and walked out: "Mother followed the eldest brother's mind and let the elder brother marry the eldest sister-in-law, but then she followed the cousin's mind and asked her to marry the second brother. She just didn't feel sorry for me. That kid is going to be a monk!"

"Oh, come back soon!" Mrs. Mo was deeply afraid that this stubborn son would really become a monk, so she replied repeatedly: "Okay, mother promises to you, isn't it?"

"I knew my mother would be the best." Mo Xiuhe immediately ran back and acted like a baby.

Cheng Engong couldn't bear to look at it any longer, and he could only think of one sentence: a loving mother often loses her children.

...

"What did you say?" Prince Rui with phoenix-eyed eyebrows lost his usual refined demeanor, and the sharpness of his eyes could not be concealed: "The General Zhenxi's mansion is almost left with an empty shell, the county lord is right. You don't have much help, so why don't you change someone? This king thinks that Ms. Yao from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, or the daughter of Commander Zhao of the Xishan Daying Camp, are more suitable than the county head of the Zhenxi General's Mansion."

Hearing his father's reluctance, Prince Rui was still gentle and refined: "Father, whether it's the Zhenbei General's Mansion or Commander Zhao, they are all confidantes of the Holy Majesty. Even if the son marries someone else, they will not favor us."

"My son should have a son. If he really married them, would he dare to let them have a son?"

"On the contrary, it is General Zhenxi's Mansion, which is no longer regarded by the Holy Majesty, but with the good reputation of the Yan family who died on the battlefield, it is also convenient for us to call the old department."

"What we lack most now are soldiers, what do you think?"

In the end, it was Prince Rui who was persuaded by his son: "That's up to you."

He asked him again: "Recently, the capital city has been very noisy, so our people haven't been exposed, have they?"

"Father, don't worry, our people's congress has already been arranged. Places like restaurants, brothels, and teahouses are full of people coming and going, and they will never be discovered."

Prince Rui thought of the fact that the people of His Majesty had recently wiped out the forces cultivated secretly by many people one after another, and secretly rejoiced that his eldest son was successful, so he did not expose it.

Originally, they thought that the assassination plan was foolproof, and even thought about how to get rid of the seven princes after the death of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the chess missed, and now they have to be the turtles for a while.

He couldn't help but add another sentence: "I'm afraid there are quite a few people staring at us from the dark now, so you should be more careful in your actions recently."

"I'm afraid that some people's minds will drift and betray us."

"Father, don't worry," Prince Rui said confidently, "They all have our guards around them, if they dare to have second thoughts, the guards will take action, and they will never be given the chance to betray us."

...

The original Mencius Cheng is now renamed Wang Ziyao.

But he felt that his Maxima had finally met Bole.

He brought his guards, the accountant, and Qingzhu, and Qianniang came to Chen's house by boat, and after taking out the letter, he was regarded as a guest of honor.

It turns out that this Chen residence is also owned by Prince Rui, although this place is a bit remote, but there are canals, and they have earned a lot of money by shipping.

Although most of them are filial piety to Prince Rui and the eldest son, but the amount that flows from the fingers is enough for the Chen family to call their slaves and maidservants, and they are like local snakes here.

Wang Ziyao felt that this trip was really an eye-opener. The Chen family quietly gave him 5000 taels of silver notes and treated him as a guest of honor. Uncle Chen personally accompanied him to drink and have fun.

If the accountant hadn't said that he could go back, he would be a little reluctant to leave.

But before they left, they had to go to Yu Wanniang's hometown. Coincidentally, Uncle Chen happened to be Mu Youde's classmate, so he immediately volunteered to accompany them there.

During this period of time, Mu Youde had a hard time.

It can be said that after the separation, his life did not go smoothly.

After Yu Wanniang and their mother and daughter left, rumors spread that he had bribed thousands of taels of silver.

The county magistrate tactfully persuaded him to tidy up his tail as soon as no one came to investigate.

As a result, he no longer dared to accept benefits, for fear of being caught.

As for the nourishment that Mu's family could live in the past, Yu Wanniang took care of food, drink, housing and transportation.

Whether it's rice, noodles, beans, chicken, duck, beef, sheep, fish, or even firewood, they are all sent from her village.

Now that Xiao Xiuzhu came in, he didn't have Yu Wanniang's generous dowry, nor Yu Wanniang's ability, and Mu Youde didn't dare to be greedy anymore in the yamen, he was afraid of being caught, so naturally There is no money for her to spend at will.

And even if he had plenty of money, he didn't dare to spend it casually during this special period, for fear of being seen by others, so he lived a bit tight these days.

But it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

There are also conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The most regrettable thing is that Xiao Xiuzhu was so angry that she had a "miscarriage" after being said a few words by her mother-in-law, and she didn't get pregnant again after more than a year.

Mu Youde is in the yamen, and now he is trembling, he is afraid that his past bribery will be found out, so when he heard the yamen servant come in and say that someone is looking for him, he feels uneasy.

Unexpectedly, it was the old man of the Chen family, a classmate from earlier, who came to find him, and when he heard that he said that he came with the nobles from the capital, he was even more tempted, and hurriedly greeted them to the restaurant.
